By Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller in 1845. The ruins of the Temple of Juno located at Agrigento in Sicily. Agrigento was one of the leading colonies settled by the Greeks across the Mediterranean between the 8th and 6th centuries BC with the temple constructed during the 5th century. By the time Waldmuller painted the scene much of the area had been severely depopulated and returned to nature.
